Sample Letter for IELTS writing task ---a letter of complaint against a tree
1. Task:
There is a tree beside your house, which causes you inconvenience. Write to the local government to explain the problem. Ask them to investigate the matter and inquire about the relevant expense.
2. Sample:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I feel sorry to trouble you but I am afraid I have to make a complaint about a tree in my neighborhood. I moved to my present house at------a week ago. I am satisfied with it in every aspect except that there is a tree beside it which causes me great inconvenience as illustrated below.
For one thing, the tree prevents sunlight shining into the house.For another, s ome of its branchers stretch over the wall and into my garden. Furthermore,the tree makes it difficult for me to park my car beside the house.One night, I bumped into the tree and got hurt because it is right on the way to my house. In addition, the tree attracts a lot of insects such as mosquitoes.
I wonder if you could send your people to investigate this matter and if it is possible to have the tree moved. Of course, I will pay any cost involved in its removal. Please just inform me the relevant expense.
Your early reply will be greatly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Peter pan
3. Comment:
3.1. Yellow lettered---politeness. Communicative skills.
3.2 Green lettered---a. purpose of the letter. B. Self-introduction by the writer.
Usually these two parts will appear in a formal letter to a unacquainted party. 3.3 Red lettered—thesis statement. Important to point out the “inconvenience”.
3.4 blue lettered--linking words, including linking adverbs and phrases, as well as
pronouns or other linguistic device. Hence, coherence and
cohesion reinforced.
3.5 bold-lettered---full development (at least three arguments are necessary to
achieve full development) + specific example supporting.

Dear Ms Roberts
Vacancy for Business Analyst
I am writing in reply to your advert for the above post, which was advertised in The Guardian on Tuesday 30 April 2007, and I enclose my CV in application.
I am currently in the final year of a BA (Hons) course in Business Economics at City University, Bristol, and expect to graduate in June 2007. I have always wanted to pursue a career as an economist within an international environment and have been able to tailor my studies to that end. I have obtained A grades in the Economic Data Analysis, International Economics, and Economics of Business Strategy modules, and am currently completing a dissertation on the growth of e-commerce in the European Union. I am fluent in spoken and written Spanish, having built on my A-level proficiency in that subject when working in Spain and Mexico.
In addition to the qualifications and abilities outlined above, I have kept my IT skills fully up to date (including MS Excel and Access) and am competent in a wide range of business data analysis operations. The post also requires someone with good communications skills who is able to negotiate with corporate clients: I enjoy making new contacts and establishing relationships with a wide range of people, and have successfully liaised with Spanish companies when arranging student activities while I was a Teaching Assistant in Seville.
I feel that the position offered would be ideal in giving me the opportunity to use my education and skills to provide a high level of service for the international client profile you describe.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Sara Green

雅思听力真题分类解析 雅思听力对于许多同学来说是比较难的一部分，相对来说题型也比较多。下面是小编给大家整理的雅思听力真题分类解析，大家可以作为了解。 雅思听力题型分类之选择题： 题量：10道题以上，容易出现在s2和s3部分;难度较高 题型特点： 1.审题压力大：有单选题和多选题，单词量多，阅读速度要求高 2.错误选项干扰大：对听句子的反应速度要求高 3.题目和正确选项会出现同义替换 题目可能已经给出句子的前半部分，考生需在选项中选择一个较好答案完成这个句子。题目也可能是一个完整的问题，考生需在选项中选择一个较好的答案作答。考生需要从三个可供选择的答案A、B、或C选择一个较好的答案或句子结尾。 选择题这种题型中考生都比较熟悉，所以可能对于考生来说算是相对比较容易备考及应的一种题型。但是要记住切忌大意，因为雅思考测的是学生的英语应用能力，所以考试内容的广度及深度都要远远高于内其他类英语考。在雅思听力中的选择题有区别于传统听力考的一些特征。雅思听力的选择题更加注重细节的考察，在section 3和section 4部分听力所涉及的场景内容更加专业。 雅思听力题型分类之填空题： 题量：20道题以上，容易出现在s1和s4部分，是听力中的要点题型，难度中等
出题特点： 1.单词拼写一般是低难度，比如：月份，星期、旅游景点，但是对于书写格式要求严格 2.题目会出现同义替换，需要积累一定同意替换词汇 3.所听即所得：答案会直接在听力中给出 4.先答案后题目：在个别填空题中会先出现答案，然后再出现题目中的信息 考生先阅读一组句子，这些句子对听力材料中部分或者全部内容进行了总结。考生需使用听力材料中的信息对每个句子的空格以简短的方式进行填空作答。题目的指示中会对字数要求进行限定，通常为不超过三个单词和/或一个数字。考生所用的单词应该是直接从听力材料中所听到的单词。如果考生填写了超过问题指示中所要求的字数，即使所填的内容中包含正确的答案，也会被扣分。缩写的单词不会被作为考的内容。带有连字符的单词按照一个单词计算。 雅思听力填空题有单句填空和摘要填空两种。这类题型因为给出一定的信息，所以对考生来说是相对来说比较简单的一类题。同内英语考相同，建议考生在听听力之前，留意句子关键词，并根据空格前后内容猜测并判断空格处要填入部分的词性或所担当的成分。切记不要超过三个单词和/或一个数字，要仔细阅读题目的指示再作答。 雅思听力题型分类之匹配题： 题量：4-8题左右;常出现在section2和section3中，难度较高 题型特点： 1.审题压力大：选项较多时对于阅读速度有要求 2.听题节奏快，干扰多，容易抓不到答案
雅思口语常用句型 一、口语考试套话倒背如流 1. 与考官见面用语 Glad to meet you here. How nice to see you. Fancy seeing you. How are you? I’m glad to have had the opportunity to meet you here. I’m glad to meet you.

Do you mean (that)…? So am I right in saying…? If I’ve got the picture, then… So what you mean is…, right? Sorry I don’t quite catch you. You mean…? Can I get one thing clear? Would I be correct in supposing…? 4.对考官所提问题的内容不熟悉 I’m not exactly sure how to answer that question, but (perhaps)… That’s a rather difficult question, but (maybe)… I’m sorry, but I don’t know much about… 5. 评价考官所提问题 That’s difficult to answer, but (maybe)… I’m sorry, but I don’t know much about…but perhaps… Maybe I can answer your question by telling you about a personal experience I had. That’s an interesting question…let me see. Well, I suppose that… Yes, that’s a big issue. 6.连接词
P1Do you like flying? Which do you prefer? Travelling by train or Travelling by air? How does flying compare to other forms of transport? Do you think aircraft will be used more in the future? What are the benefits of travelling by air? 喜欢坐飞机的——为什么喜欢？ It shows the status! same reason people travel first class rather than economy class. 坐飞机有面子——体现身份。就好像有些人坐飞机也专坐头等舱不坐经济舱一样。 I can get tiny drinks and bag of salty nuts. 坐飞机能喝饮料，吃咸花生。 I love the flight attendants...actually i love the uniform. But the nurses uniform doesnt always live up to expectation and have you ever seen a fat air stewardess? 因为喜欢看空姐。说白了就是喜欢制服。虽然护士也穿制服，但和空姐最大的区别是：护士有时候经常让你失望。因为经常能看见肥护士而肥空姐几乎没有。 I arrive quickly at my destination and staff treat customers very well with frequent drinks and meals. They also bow to the passengers in the waiting area as they pass to go behind the desk. 坐飞机到达目的地快，而且服务人员服务周到，要吃有吃，要喝有喝。最关键的是，他们还给乘客鞠躬。 My favorite part is taking off, i love engine sounds, i love the view down below.. 我最喜欢的就是飞机起飞的时候，我喜欢引擎的声音，我喜欢在空中看下面的风景。 Yeah I love the excitment of it! So much fun! But I get so nervous cause sometimes my ears don't pop for a few days. 我喜欢坐飞机时候的兴奋。但有时候坐完飞机耳朵经常像塞住一样很多天都不舒服。 讨厌坐飞机的——为什么讨厌？ It's okay to fly but it is a pain on very long flights or when there is bad turbulence. 坐飞机还好，关键是飞太久挺烦人的，或者遇上气流。 I'm sure my bloodpressure is elevated. God forbid if there's turbulence. 坐飞机我就血压高。上帝保佑别遇到气流。 I hate flying. I freak out at the slightest bit of turbulence.

Thus, the stress of having zero control over the plane is often too much to handle. 数据上体现，坐飞机确实比开车安全（出现事故次数少），可我们从车祸中幸存的几率却大大高于空难。我们根本没法去控制飞机。 I have acrophobia, fear of heights. So I hate flying on plane. 我有恐高症，怕高。 喜欢坐火车的——为什么喜欢？ I much prefer to travel by rail. I most often travel by air which does at best get me there when I need to, but at great cost of effort, fatigue, stress and general irritation. I never feel this way traveling by rail when new New Oriental arranged a business trip for me, even though there are delays at times. 我喜欢坐火车，因为坐飞机花费高，费体力，有压力，受刺激。可每次新东方给我安排坐火车去出差，却没这坐飞机那种感觉，虽然火车有时候会晚点。 There are lengthy and unwarranted delays encountered in air travel. But at least by rail their is time to relax, and enjoy the scenery. 坐飞机有时候会有长时间的、无法保证的晚点。坐火车至少能休息，看风景。 Train allows one to make the most of your time, whether for relaxing, chatting, meeting new people or working. I think JK Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter in trains. 火车上人们可以充分利用时间，甭管是放松、聊天、认识新朋友还是工作。JK罗琳的第一部哈里波特不就是在火车上写的么。 坐飞机坐哪个位置比较好？ First class preferably but if I can't get an upgrade then I go for aisle seat or emergency exit seat. 更喜欢

雅思口语高频话题：Names 名字 6月7月以来，很多参加过口语考试的同学发邮件给我，报告第一部分中考官问到名字的话题，这个话题早就存在，可能是考生在考前一看Names就觉得挺简单，没有过多留意。其实要想说好这个话题，还是需要积攒一些口语素材的。 1. Does your name have any special meaning? ·Yes, I was named after my grandmother. (named after) 以...命名，起名。 ·My name is Suntao, Tao literally means billows or large waves. 我叫孙涛，涛字面意思是波涛，海浪。 ·My parents named me Wangdong, something to do with the "solar term", the beginning of winter. 我父母给我起名王冬，和24节气有关，立冬。 ·No it doesn't.

The only thing I like about it is that it's short and easy to pronounce and spell. 我叫Eve，我讨厌这个名字，我不能忍受的是宗教的原因。我不喜欢以一个在伊甸园里摘下苹果的女人而起名。唯一让我喜欢的一点就是，不长，而且容易发音，拼写。 2.

Kinda bitter sweet huh? kinda=kind of ·It's ok, its Jennifer. Wish i had a more exciting name though. ·I love my name and I dont think I would change it because its a name my parents picked out for me and im proud to have it.
Chapter One 1.1听力考试内容 雅思听力考试一共分为四部分（four sections），第一部分和第二部分，主要测试考生在英语国家的生存场景(survival situation)中所需要的语言技能，解题的重点在于理解事实性信息。第三部分和第四部分，主要涉及考生在英语国家接受培训和课程学习时所遇到的学术场景(academic situation)，解题重点在于辨别主要观点，理解学术性主题和讨论内容，抓住细节信息。每个部分都有10个小题，总共40个小题。总结如下： 1.2听力考试时间 听力考试时间共40分钟，其中30分钟放录音，最后10分钟把答案誊到答题卡上。每部分只播放一遍，考生必须边听边写，各部分录音开始前考生有30秒时间阅读题目，各部分录音结束后，考生有30秒检查答案。 1.3听力考试题型 题型总的来说可分为两大类：选择题和填空题。 选择题包括：三选一、多选题、配对题、分类题等。这类题，在没有听清信息的情况下，考生也可以猜测答案，因为雅思没有采取倒扣分制，即使答案错了也不会影响分数。 填空题包括：图表题、笔记填空、句子填空、摘要填空、简答题。这种题要求考生准确听出录音中的信息，否则无法猜测出答案。而雅思考试最大的特点是要求考生自己填出信息的题至少有30道，最多的一次考试出了39个填空，所以考生的拼写就显得很重要。
